You have a dashboard thermometer? When I was a kid, we had to stick our fingers out of the window in the winter and calculate the temperature based upon how soon they'd break off at highway speeds!

There was a news story on the radio this afternoon of some kid imitating that scene from "A Christmas Story" - tongue to flagpole. :P

Oh, that was an old problem in the northern climes where I was raised (well, some of the time: Limestone, Maine.) Metal smells really interesting when it's very cold, and I think that's why kids try it.
